Abstract

NOVEL COMPOSITION

Abstract of the Disclosure Novel insecticidal composition for the control of Diptera such as Musca domestica comprising cis-9-tricosene, methomyl, and a carrier substance.

Description

lO~Z969 This invention is directed to highly effective insecticidal compositions for Diptera, especially Musca domestica.
More particularly,~ this invention relates to a novel composition comprising cis-9-tricosene r methomyl, and a suitable carrier substance, which is unusually effective for combatting Dipteran insects.
Although the art knows that cis-9-tricosene is a sex pheromone of Musca domestica [Carlson et al., Science 17~, 76 (1971~] and has been used in combination with insecticides, as in our Canadian Patent 1,012,058 for the control of Dipteran insects, the superior effectiveness of the compositions of the present invention over prior art compos-itions is unexpected and could not have been predicted.
In the practice of the present invention, cis-9-tricosene is mixed with methomyl together with a suitable carrier substance to prepare the novel compositions of the present invention which are then applied in the usual way for control. One suitable method of preparing the compositions of :.
the present invention is to mix methomyl, with or without sol-
2~ vent or diluent, with a suitable carrier substance and then mix -~ the resulting composition with cis-9-tricosene with or without ~; solvent.
- The novel insecticidal compositions of the present inventions can include conventional pest control adjuvants, diluents, modifiers or conditioning agents, herein included in the term "suitable carrier substance", to provide compositions in the form of solutions, emulsions, dispersions, powders, dusts, granules, pellets, and the like. Thus, the insecticidal composi- `~
tions can be liquid or solid. The liquid compositions can contain one or more surface active agents as a conditioning agent to render the composition readily dispersable in water. The term 32 "surface active agents" includes wetting agents, dispersing X `'~
,:~, : ,,, , . : - , , ` `` ~0~2~69 agents, emulsifying agents, and the like. The solid formulations of the present invention in the form of powder, dust, pellets or granules can be prepared using such substances as talc, natural clay, pyrophyllite, diatomaceous earth, walnut shells, corn cobs, sugar and the like.
The amount of active ingredient in the compositions of the present invention will vary according to the manner in which the composition is to be applied but, in general, will be from about 0.25% to 95~ by weight of the total composition. Usually, the amount of active ingredient will be about 0.50% to 10~.
Active ingredient as used herein means cis-9-tricosene and methomyl. The ratio of cis-9-tricosene to methomyl is generally from about 1:50 to 25:1 parts by weight. A sugar granule formu- ~;
lation of 1% methomyl and containing cis-9-tricosene within the ratio of 1:25 to 2:1 of cis-9-tricosene to methomyl provides an increase in effectiveness of a few hundred percent to several hundred percent over the same granule formulation containing other insecticides such as propoxur. A comparison of a sugar granule formulation of methomyl and propoxur in the absence of cis-9-tricosene shows substantially equal effectiveness.
~ Methomyl is the common name for methyl N-[~methyl-`~ carbamoyl)oxy]thioacetamide, described in U.S. Patent 3,576,834.
As described in U.S. Patent 3,576,834, other pesticides can be used in mixture with methomyl. It is important, however, that within the practice of the present invention the ratio-~ of cis-9-tricosene to methomyl remain within the ratios described herein even though other pesticide(s) may be present in the composition.

' ' IO~Z969 E~AMPLE 1 - The formulations below were prepared by dissolving the active ingredient, methomyl or propoxur, in methylene chloride and blending with fine grain beet sugar of relatively uniform particle size until homogenous. The formulations - containing cis-9-tricosene were prepared by dissolving the cis-9-tricosene in methylene chloride and then thoroughly blending with the formulation of sugar and active ingredient until dry and flowable.

The results are tabulated in Table 1. The superior effectiveness of formulation D, a composition of the present invention, is evident. Trials were ended after 30 minutes. The number of dead flies were counted at 15 minutes and 30 minutes. For convenience, the mean fly count is given as a ratio. In each test, 0.8 grams per four square feet of each formulation was used.
